'kandinsky', a full-scale retrospective of vasily kandinsky's paintings will be presented at
the solomon r. guggenheim museum, new york this fall. this comprehensive survey is comprised
of nearly 100 of the visionary artist, theorist, and the pioneer of abstraction's most important canvases
from 1907 to 1942. the pieces on show are drawn primarily from the three largest repositories
of the artist's work: the centre pompidou in paris, the solomon r. guggenheim foundation in new york,
and the städtische galerie im lenbachhaus und kunstbau in munich, as well as from significant private
and public collections. complemented by more than 60 works on paper from the collections of the
guggenheim and hilla von rebay foundations, this retrospective traces the painter's oeuvre,
focusing on the key events that informed his life and work as an artist. marked by two world wars
and the russian revolutions, kandinsky's abstraction did not develop in detachment or isolation.
'kandinsky', the first comprehensive retrospective of the artist's career in the united states since the
three surveys mounted by the guggenheim museum in the 1980's, reveals the complex background
to his aesthetic innovations.
